Plot: Enola Holmes heads to Malta, where her aspirations merge in her most complex and dangerous case yet.
This 3rd film was solid enough.
Pros: This one was felt it stand alone to its own existence with the first two films. I like many of the location spots. The wedding backdrop worked for me. Millie Bobby Brown & Louis Partridge continue giving their best work to date. How surprised I was how they tie the previous two movies into this one. How she grown as a detective throughout this film. Having Moriarty pulling all the strings did surprise me & the ending was wonderful.
Cons: I was disappointed with how much Sherlock Holmes had little involved in the story. All not that much of his dynamic with Watson. The main villain didn’t cane off that threatening.
